where did the years go
my little ones
if only we could go back in time
just once
when i looked into your eyes
and you played with my strands
when i touched your little fingers
and you grabbed my hands
when i kissed your cheeks
and you made many a baby sound
when over the years
we made many trips to the lost and found
when we played on the grass
and combed the beach for shells
when we threw pennies
into wishing wells
when we watched the fire glow
on a winter night
when we caught shadows
in candlelight
when we watched cartoons
and screamed at creatures imaginary
when you hugged me
and asked for another story
when we said i love you
over and over again
when we watched butterflies
and rainbows after the rain
and today…you drove me in your yellow car
got me my favourite ice cream cone and flowers
i count my many blessings
and happy hours
PS: Happy Mother’s Day!
